When everyone had hoped that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would call off its strike, it extended it by a whopping three months, to the consternation and bewilderment of students, parents and concerned citizens alike!

To a Yoruba man, Kola nut is a cash crop, an economic fruit and exchange earner.

After emerging as the consensus Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, was faced with a major crisis.
